That's what I'm sat here thinking..... I had no idea one couldn't just pick shellfish up.... or is it because they were suspected of 'selling' them on for profit so required a licence?

if they are for personal consumption, you can just take them...... however, be prepared for a serious dose of the 'back yard trots' because they need to be purged of the raw sewage they contain........ these illegal commercial pickers are a public health menace, but at least the police are starting to intervene, and the public should keep phoning whenever they are spotted.....

You can take them but if they are for commercial use you need a movement notification. Like bringing in tobacco from abroad there is an amount you can move without having to prove they are for private use. I think it is something like 6 sacks. The estuary here is full of micro organisms that the oysters suck in and are hazardous to eat unless they are cleansed in a clean water area but it takes months of decontamination to abide by the law.
